WEBB Je JUDGMENT

We have come to the conclusion that this appeal should fail.

It is an appeal against an order made in chambers on a summons asking that nine trade unions, each being registered as a trade union under the Trade Unions Act, 1881-1936 (N.S.W.) and as an industrial union under the Industrial Arbitration Act, 1940 -1953 (N.S.We), be added as defendants in an action pending in this Court. The order made was that some one of the nine unions be added and be authorized to defend the action on its own behalf and on behalf of the others.
